It is important for the Council to put all its political weight behind this effort by the Secretariat. I think today's discussion provides eloquent proof ofthat point. I now resume my function as President of the Security Council. I shall now call on the non-members on my list. In order to maximize the time available to us, I shall not call on speakers individually to come to the table or to resume their seats at the side of the Council Chamber.

I hope that that work will be concluded very soon. It is also important to ensure consistency and synergy between the revised aide-memoire and the action plan recommendations now being updated. That is a very important instrument that will structure the efforts of both the United Nations and the entire humanitarian community. We must ensure that all the details are fleshed out and coordinated. I would like to conclude on that point.

27. “Secondly, we must note that the continent most affected by the problems under consideration is Africa. I was very shocked by the information provided by Mr. Egeland about the situation in northern Uganda, in particular. In the past, the Council has not generally discussed Uganda from that particular perspective, and it is a sad reality. I should like to thank Mr. Egeland for having also referred in his briefing to Somalia, a country beset by serious problems and where civilians have suffered for over a decade, given that there is essentially no real State there and the country is in the hand of warlords. Thirdly, I should like to thank Mr. Egeland and his colleagues for having provided the Council with the updated aide-memoire.”

28. “Naturally, this is one of the most important provisions and strengths of our Organization's Charter. Mr. Egeland's briefing highlighted the long list of problems that still face us, some of which are new. Among the most disturbing of these is the problem of security for the personnel of the United Nations and humanitarian organizations in the field. As Ambassador Mufioz pointed out earlier, after the 19 August incident in Baghdad, in particular, the United Nations lost its innocence, as it were. It is now a target of terrorist attacks. I believe that resolution 1502 (2003) was a rather swift and categorical response from the Council to these new and extremely disturbing phenomena, which may make the United Nations job even more difficult.”

29. “I shall now make a brief statement in my capacity as Permanent Representative of Bulgaria. As an associate country of the European Union, Bulgaria clearly and fully supports the statement to be made shortly by the Italian presidency ofthe Union. My job has been made easier by the fact that there is agreement in the Council on the extremely important and burning topic of the protection of civilians in armed conflict. My job has also been broadly facilitated by the excellent briefing by Mr. Egeland. It was very exhaustive and I have nothing to add to it. I should, however, like to make a few general comments. Clearly, the United Nations today is playing a central coordinating role in the international community's efforts better to protect civilians in armed conflict.”
